A Newbie's Guide To Adobe Premiere

if you start with low quality then there's really nothing you can do.
uncompressed will not give you better quality than lossless...just a bigger file. (huffyuv shouldn't give you better quality either. I'm ignoring the very small quality loss when you convert between colorspaces [if applicable])

AviSynth is not a codec, but you might be able to use it to clean up your footage a little bit (but you shouldn't expect too much in this case)

Ah, never mind. For some reason, converting the original file to a 240 x 180 instead of a 640 x 480 made the quality really bad. It's fine now.

I don't quite understand how the avisynth works. Could you give an example of a script. I just wrote one in notepad and what do I do with that?

Sorry for posting so many times in a row, but the status of my problems keeps changing. Now after finally getting avisynth to work, I imported it into Adobe Premiere but there's the black screen again in the preview monitor window. The avs file works just fine in Windows Media Player but doesn't in Premiere. What should I do?

I've read through everything there is in that guide about avisynth and have done everything that's supposed to make it work, yet I still get the black screen with the avs file...

post your project settings, video properties (gspot is better than windows for telling you stuff about video/audio files) and post your script
you can use the code tags

Code: Select all

[code]put text in here

[/code] to make it easier to spot/read

also post system specs (just in case that's part of the problem)

Try changing from "AviSource" to "DirectShowSource"

Thanks.
